Overview Treo headsets. Where do I even start? How many ways can you talk into and listen to calls on yours? Well, there's the good old hold the phone to your head method, but a Treo isn't the easiest thing to balance on your shoulder if you need both hands free to type or take notes. And it gets a little heavy after a while.
Wires. Sometimes they're a good thing
Jabra C150 in TreoCentral's store for five bucks. I got one a few months ago just to have something simple I could plug into my 650. It comes with lots of left and right ear "gels" (squishy ear pieces).. for different sized ears. It's very basic, with its hard plastic earhook, it gets the job done, costs next to nothing, and avoids all the pitfalls of the speakerphone and Bluetooth. But it has no noise cancellation at all. Well, what did you expect for five bucks?
Go HIGH tech – enter theBoom.
Usability
"shape based" technology , theBoom's dual array mic discriminates and TOTALLY cancels out background noise. Meanwhile, one of the two mics behind the soft foam cover picks up ONLY your voice. Even sitting at a rock concert where you can't even hear yourself yell, much less talk, much less whisper, plug theBoom into your Treo, make or take a call, and the person on the other end won't know if you're sitting in front of a 115dB bank of amps, or in the hushed stillness of a library. Honestly. Check out that link above for sound and flash demos of how UmeVoice's technology works. Be amazed. Be very amazed.
